Local 24 News first told you about the sinkhole problem in the Ravenwood subdivision in 2013. At that time, crews filled were busy filling one measuring four feet wide and four feet deep.
Monday, a year and a half later, frustrated neighbors are dealing with another one.
Jim Stacy has a measuring stick, a sink hole next to his drive and an axe to grind.
"I'll never, every buy a home again," Stacy said. "If this falls in the ground, that will be the the best that could happen, insurance could pay for it." Stacy said.He noticed the hole March 25th and alerted the city of Horn Lake.
While waiting for the sinkhole to be fixed, things got worse March 31st, when Stacy said a teenager fell in, and somehow didn't break a leg.
"He was walking by on his cell phone, not paying attention, and down he went," Stacy said.In 2013, Horn Lake leaders said another sinkhole on the same street opened due to a misplaced sewer main hole. However, Horn Lake Director of Operations Spencer Shields believes Mother Nature, not engineering, caused Ravenwood's latest sinkhole.
"Between the snows and the rain, the ground is just going to compact. And as it dries out, it expands back and that causes water lines to break and sewer lines to break and storm drains to open up. So, it's weather, more weather related than anything," Shields said.
Horn Lake crews are expected to fill the sinkhole Tuesday morning. City leaders said final repairs on the larger sinkhole will be done in a couple of weeks.
Comment: Sinkholes may break water lines, but most are not actually caused by them. Many are more likely caused by the slowing down of the earth due to the increase of
electrically charged cometary dust
surrounding the planet, and the
decrease in solar activity. This leads to the planet literally "opening up" as it becomes ever slightly deformed. For more info, check out the book

Looking back through reports over the last ten years, it seems that the appearance of new sinkholes accelerated in 2007 when a giant sinkhole opned up in Guatemala City. A second monster hole appeared in 2010.
The frequency of sinkholes over the last three or four years has increased to the point that people are being unexpectedly 'swallowed' and even killed in urban areas. Homes and vehicles have also been gobbled up in ever-larger numbers.
[...] New sinkholes have increased not only in number, but in severity too. If ten years ago you were told that a sinkhole had literally swallowed human beings alive, you would probably have dismissed it as the plot from a bad horror movie. Well, that is today's reality. In the last few years, over 20 individuals have experienced 'death by sinkhole'.
Since none of the invoked causes can explain the sudden appearance of so many new sinkholes in so many different locations, we're left to consider that some new factor must underpin the sharp increase. It makes us wonder if the 'opening up' of the Earth is not this new factor.
